Police arrested a pair of Mansfield Township residents after they apparently hallucinated and called police to report an armed intruder trying to break into their hotel room, authorities said.

Alexander Friedland, 27, of the 500 block of Mansfield Village, called police in Mount Olive Township early Thursday morning and reported a man with a knife was trying to get into their room on the fourth floor of Marriott Residence Inn, township police said.

Police responded to the Continental Drive hotel about 4:10 a.m. After a search of the hallway turned up empty, they began talking with Friedland. An officer suspected he and the woman, 27-year-old Sonia Leal, were hallucinating after taking methamphetamines inside the hotel room, according to a news release.

A search of the room, done with the pair's consent, turned up the methamphetamines, suspected hash oil and drug paraphernalia, police said. A small child was also found sleeping on the bed.

Officials from the Department of Child Protection and Permanency responded to the hotel room and took custody of the child, police said.

Both Friedland and Leal were arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, drug possession and being under the influence of a controlled substance.

After he was treated and released from the hospital, Friedland was sent to the Morris County jail in lieu of 10 percent of $15,000 bail, police said. Leal was held in lieu of 10 percent of $25,000 bail.

Each has posted that amount and been released, online records indicate.
